AbstractFormation and characterization of a new hetero -structure of modulation doped p-Si0.5Ge0.5/Ge/Si1-xGex are comprehensively studied. In the MBE growth, thick Si1-xGex buffer layers are grown incommensurately at high temperature (520°C), and thin Si0.5Ge0.5/Ge layers are grown commensurately at low temperature (≦450°C). The strain field in the Ge channel layers can be precisely controlled by changing the Si composition (1-X) in the Si 1 -xGex buffer layers. As a result, a large energy discontinuity in the valence band (0.17 eV) is realized at the hetero -interface of p-Si0.5Ge0.5/Ge. This enables a high mobility of two -dimensional hole gas (4500 cm2/Vs) at 77 K.

ABSTRACTNew methods have been developed for the synthesis of high surface area cation-substituted hexaaluminates. These materials were prepared by calcining high temperature (ethanol extraction) or low temperature (CO2 extraction) aerogels at temperatures up to 1600°C. Cation-substituted hexaaluminates have emerged as promising catalysts for use in high temperature catalytic combustion. In comparing unsubstituted and cation-substituted hexaaluminates, we found that the phase transformations were much cleaner for the cation-substituted materials. BaCO3 and BaAl2O4 were intermediates during transformation of the unsubstituted materials, while the cation-substituted materials transformed directly from an amorphous phase to crystalline hexaaluminate. Moreover, the presence of substitution cations caused the transformation to occur at lower temperatures. Mn seems to be a better substitution cation than Co since the Mn-substituted materials exhibited higher surface areas and better heat resistances than the Co-substituted materials. The low temperature aerogel-derived materials possessed quite different characteristics from the high temperature aerogel-derived materials. For example, phase transformation pathways were different.

The system X–La–Cu–O is described as a Fermi liquid with antiferromagnetic interaction. This interaction gives rise to two types of fluctuations, magnetic and superconducting. As a result, we find a free energy which contains two order parameters which at high temperature give rise to superconductivity and at low temperature to reentry-like paramagnetism. For two-dimensional systems, topological effects give rise to fractional statistics and as a result superconductivity appears when the topological angle θ gives rise to a Bose statistic.
